Military Invasions That Changed the Global Map in the 20th Century
The Bay of Pigs invasion is one of the best examples of an unsuccessful military operation, but it also pointed out how the scale of international diplomacy could be altered simply by way of invasion. As we all know, the Bay of Pigs led to the Cold War and a brittle relationship still somewhat present among Russia, Cuba, and the United States. While maps themselves didn't necessarily alter in this instance, the true nature of diplomatic and political incentive took root. The 20th Century experienced a plentitude of these exchanges, effectively redrawing the world, and creating alterations forever engrained in history, some of which are disputed still to this day.

Myths About Marines That Civilians Believe
Among the strongest groups in the United States Armed Forces, the Marine Corps are truly the toughest. They're the ones trained individually to become riflemen, the first group to go into battle, and the ones responsible for conducting amphibious operations with the Navy. Overall, the Marines are pretty much a group of total badasses who have a fierce passion in their beliefs and keeping our country safe. Since there's so much they do and a lot of things we may not know about the US Marine Corps, there's also a lot we assume about them.

The Greatest Military Bluffs in History
You can have the mightiest of soldiers, the most weaponized battleship, the more adequate position, or even the most elite leader, but that doesn’t always win you the battle, let alone the war itself. Brawn can only get you so far, but brains—that’s how you leap into the minds of your enemies and tear them apart from the inside out. This is how some of the most important wars in human history were won, by using the enemy's mindset of victory against them and by making the opposition believe in a total farce. Much of Sun Tzu's The Art of War, one of many books recommended by the US military for aspiring soldiers, discusses this very attribute in warfare, which is the creation of a fictitious diversion in the hopes that your enemy falls victim to one of two things: hubris or stupidity.
